                    THE GABELLI GLOBAL UTILITY & INCOME TRUST
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



1.  ORGANIZATION.  The Gabelli  Global  Utility & Income Trust (the "Fund") is a
non-diversified closed-end management investment company organized as a Delaware
statutory trust on March 8, 2004 and registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Investment operations commenced on May 28,
2004.

     The Fund's investment  objective is to seek a consistent level of after-tax
total  return  over the long  term  with an  emphasis  currently  on  qualifying
dividends.  The Fund  will  attempt  to  achieve  its  investment  objective  by
investing,  under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity
securities  (including  preferred  securities) of domestic and foreign companies
involved to a substantial extent in providing products,  services,  or equipment
for  the  generation  or  distribution   of  electricity,   gas,  or  water  and
infrastructure   operations,  and  in  equity  securities  (including  preferred
securities) of companies in other  industries,  in each case in such  securities
that are expected to periodically pay dividends.

2. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting  principles
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those  estimates.  The  following  is a summary of  significant  accounting
policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

     SECURITY VALUATION.  Portfolio  securities listed or traded on a nationally
recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for
which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale
price or a market's  official  closing  price as of the close of business on the
day the  securities  are being  valued.  If there  were no sales  that day,  the
security is valued at the  average of the  closing  bid and asked  prices or, if
there were no asked  prices  quoted on that day,  then the security is valued at
the closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked  prices are quoted on such
day,  the  security is valued at the most  recently  available  price or, if the
Board of Trustees (the "Board") so determines, by such other method as the Board
shall  determine  in good  faith to reflect  its fair  market  value.  Portfolio
securities  traded on more than one national  securities  exchange or market are
valued according to the broadest and most  representative  market, as determined
by the Adviser.

     Portfolio  securities  primarily  traded on a foreign  market are generally
valued at the  preceding  closing  values  of such  securities  on the  relevant
market,  but may be fair valued pursuant to procedures  established by the Board
if market conditions change  significantly after the close of the foreign market
but prior to the close of business on the day the  securities  are being valued.
Debt  instruments  with  remaining  maturities  of 60 days or less  that are not
credit impaired are valued at amortized cost,  unless the Board  determines such
amount  does not  reflect  the  securities'  fair  value,  in which  case  these
securities  will be fair valued as  determined  by the Board.  Debt  instruments
having a maturity  greater than 60 days for which market  quotations are readily
available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there
were no asked  prices  quoted  on such day,  the  security  is valued  using the
closing bid price.  Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price
of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is traded.

                                       9



                    THE GABELLI GLOBAL UTILITY & INCOME TRUST
              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)


     Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available
are fair valued as determined by the Board.  Fair  valuation  methodologies  and
procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available
financial and non-financial  information  about the company;  comparisons to the
valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a comparison
of foreign  securities to the equivalent U.S. dollar value ADR securities at the
close of the U.S.  exchange;  and evaluation of any other information that could
be indicative of the value of the security.

     REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
primary  government  securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board,
with  member  banks of the  Federal  Reserve  System,  or with other  brokers or
dealers that meet credit  guidelines  established by the Adviser and reviewed by
the Board.  Under the terms of a typical  repurchase  agreement,  the Fund takes
possession  of an  underlying  debt  obligation  subject to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase,  and the Fund to resell,  the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time, thereby  determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
The Fund will always receive and maintain  securities as collateral whose market
value, including accrued interest,  will be at least equal to 102% of the dollar
amount  invested by the Fund in each  agreement.  The Fund will make payment for
such  securities  only upon  physical  delivery  or upon  evidence of book entry
transfer of the collateral to the account of the  custodian.  To the extent that
any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral
is marked-to-market on a daily basis to maintain the adequacy of the collateral.
If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy
proceedings   are  commenced  with  respect  to  the  seller  of  the  security,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30,
2006, there were no open repurchase agreements.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may engage in futures contracts for the purpose
of hedging against  changes in the value of its portfolio  securities and in the
value of  securities  it  intends  to  purchase.  Upon  entering  into a futures
contract,  the Fund is required to deposit  with the broker an amount of cash or
cash equivalents equal to a certain  percentage of the contract amount.  This is
known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made
or received by the Fund each day,  depending  on the daily  fluctuations  in the
value    of    the    contract,     which    are    included    in    unrealized
appreciation/depreciation   on  investments  and  futures  contracts.  The  Fund
recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

     There are several risks in connection with the use of futures  contracts as
a  hedging  instrument.  The  change  in value of  futures  contracts  primarily
corresponds  with the  value  of their  underlying  instruments,  which  may not
correlate with the change in value of the hedged investments. In addition, there
is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter  into a  closing  transaction
because of an illiquid  secondary  market.  At June 30, 2006, there were no open
futures contracts.

     SECURITIES  SOLD  SHORT.  The Fund may enter into short sale  transactions.
Short selling involves  selling  securities that may or may not be owned and, at
times,  borrowing the same  securities  for delivery to the  purchaser,  with an
obligation  to replace such borrowed  securities  at a later date.  The proceeds
received  from short sales are recorded as  liabilities  and the Fund records an
unrealized  gain or loss to the extent of the  difference  between the  proceeds
received  and the value of an open short  position on the day of  determination.
The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short  position is closed out.
By entering into a short sale,  the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable
change in the price of the  security  sold short.  Dividends  on short sales are
recorded as an expense by the Fund on the ex-dividend  date and interest expense
is  recorded on the accrual  basis.  Securities  sold short at June 30, 2006 are
reported within the Schedule of Investments.

                                       10


                    THE GABELLI GLOBAL UTILITY & INCOME TRUST
              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)


     FORWARD FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS.  The Fund may engage in forward foreign
exchange contracts for hedging a specific transaction with respect to either the
currency in which the  transaction is denominated or another  currency as deemed
appropriate by the Adviser. Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the
forward  rate and are  marked-to-market  daily.  The  change in market  value is
included in  unrealized  appreciation/depreciation  on  investments  and foreign
currency translations.  When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized
gain or loss equal to the  difference  between the value of the  contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

     The  use  of  forward  foreign   exchange   contracts  does  not  eliminate
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund's portfolio securities, but it
does  establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.  Although
forward  foreign  exchange  contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency,  they also limit any potential gain that might
result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be
exposed to risks if the  counterparties  to the contracts are unable to meet the
terms of their  contracts.  At June 30, 2006, there were no open forward foreign
exchange contracts.

     FOREIGN  CURRENCY  TRANSLATIONS.  The  books  and  records  of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars.  Foreign currencies,  investments,  and other assets
and liabilities are translated into U.S.  dollars at the current exchange rates.
Purchases  and  sales  of  investment  securities,   income,  and  expenses  are
translated  at the exchange  rate  prevailing  on the  respective  dates of such
transactions.  Unrealized  gains and losses that result from  changes in foreign
exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities  have been included
in unrealized  appreciation/depreciation  on  investments  and foreign  currency
translations.  Net realized  foreign  currency  gains and losses  resulting from
changes in exchange  rates include  foreign  currency  gains and losses  between
trade date and settlement date on investment  securities  transactions,  foreign
currency  transactions,  and the difference  between the amounts of interest and
dividends  recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually  received.
The  portion of foreign  currency  gains and losses  related to  fluctuation  in
exchange rates between the initial trade date and subsequent  sale trade date is
included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

     FOREIGN  SECURITIES.  The Fund may directly purchase  securities of foreign
issuers.  Investing in securities of foreign issuers  involves special risks not
typically  associated  with investing in securities of U.S.  issuers.  The risks
include  possible  revaluation of currencies,  the ability to repatriate  funds,
less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse
political  and  economic  developments.  Moreover,  securities  of many  foreign
issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than
those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

     FOREIGN TAXES. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on
investments,  or currency  repatriation,  a portion of which may be recoverable.
The Fund will accrue such taxes and  recoveries  as  applicable,  based upon its
current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in
which it invests.

     SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME.  Securities transactions are
accounted  for on the  trade  date  with  realized  gain or loss on  investments
determined  by using the  identified  cost method.  Interest  income  (including
amortization  of premium and  accretion  of discount) is recorded on the accrual
basis.  Premiums  and  discounts  on debt  securities  are  amortized  using the
effective  yield  to  maturity  method.  Dividend  income  is  recorded  on  the
ex-dividend date except for certain  dividends which are recorded as soon as the
Fund is informed of the dividend.

     CUSTODIAN  FEE CREDITS.  When cash  balances are  maintained in the custody
account,  the Fund receives credits which are used to offset custodian fees. The
gross expenses paid under the custody arrangement are included in custodian fees
in the Statement of Operations with the  corresponding  expense offset,  if any,
shown as "custodian fee credits".

              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)


     DISTRIBUTIONS TO  SHAREHOLDERS.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded
on the ex-dividend  date.  Distributions to shareholders are based on income and
capital gains as determined in accordance  with Federal income tax  regulations,
which may  differ  from  income  and  capital  gains as  determined  under  U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to
differing  treatments of income and gains on various  investment  securities and
foreign  currency  transactions  held  by  the  Fund,  timing  differences,  and
differing  characterizations  of distributions  made by the Fund.  Distributions
from net  investment  income  include  net  realized  gains on foreign  currency
transactions.  These book/tax  differences are either  temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these  differences are permanent,  adjustments are made to
the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. These
reclassifications  have no impact on the NAV of the Fund.  For the  fiscal  year
ended December 31, 2005, reclassifications were made to increase accumulated net
investment income by $32,083 and increase accumulated distributions in excess of
net realized gain on investments and foreign currency transactions by $32,083.

     The tax  character  of  distributions  paid  during the  fiscal  year ended
December 31, 2005 was as follows:

                  DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
                  Ordinary income (Inclusive of
                    short-term capital gains) .................... $2,379,828
                  Net long-term capital gains ....................  2,043,014
                                                                   ----------
                  Total distributions paid ....................... $4,422,842
                                                                   ==========

     PROVISION  FOR INCOME  TAXES.  The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated  investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the  "Code").  It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the
requirements  of the Code  applicable to regulated  investment  companies and to
distribute  substantially  all of its net investment  company taxable income and
net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

     As of December 31, 2005, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on
a tax basis were as follows:

                  Post October losses ............................ $   (2,065)
                  Net unrealized appreciation on
                    investments, payables, and receivables .......  5,023,667
                  Net unrealized depreciation on
                    foreign currency .............................     (1,989)
                  Undistributed ordinary income ..................     21,421
                                                                   ----------

3. AGREEMENTS AND  TRANSACTIONS  WITH  AFFILIATES.  The Fund has entered into an
investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory  Agreement") with the Adviser which
provides  that the Fund will pay the Adviser on the first  business  day of

                                       12


                    THE GABELLI GLOBAL UTILITY & INCOME TRUST
              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)


each month a fee for the previous month equal on an annual basis to 1.00% of the
value of the Fund's average weekly net assets.  In accordance  with the Advisory
Agreement,  the Adviser provides a continuous  investment program for the Fund's
portfolio and oversees the  administration of all aspects of the Fund's business
and affairs.

     During  the six  months  ended  June  30,  2006,  the Fund  paid  brokerage
commissions  of $3,935 to Gabelli & Company,  Inc.  ("Gabelli  &  Company"),  an
affiliate of the Adviser.

     The cost of calculating the Fund's NAV per share is a Fund expense pursuant
to the Advisory  Agreement.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund
paid or accrued  $22,500 to the Adviser in connection with the cost of computing
the Fund's NAV, which is included in miscellaneous  expenses in the Statement of
Operations.

     The Fund is  assuming  its  portion of the  allocated  cost of the  Gabelli
Funds' Chief Compliance Officer in the amount of $2,724 for the six months ended
June 30,  2006  which is  included  in  payroll  expenses  in the  Statement  of
Operations.

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Purchases and proceeds from the sales of securities for
the six months ended June 30, 2006, other than short-term securities, aggregated
$8,458,129 and $6,177,920, respectively.

5. CAPITAL. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares
of  beneficial  interest  (par  value  $0.001).  The  Board has  authorized  the
repurchase  of its shares on the open  market  when the shares are  trading at a
discount  of 10% or more (or such other  percentage  as the Board may  determine
from time to time) from the NAV of the shares.  During the six months ended June
30, 2006 and the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2005, the Fund did not have any
transactions in shares of beneficial interest.

6. INDUSTRY  CONCENTRATION.  Because the Fund primarily invests in common stocks
and other securities of foreign and domestic  companies in the utility industry,
its  portfolio  may be subject to greater  risk and market  fluctuations  than a
portfolio of securities representing a broad range of investments.

7.  INDEMNIFICATIONS.  The Fund enters into  contracts that contain a variety of
indemnifications.  The Fund's  maximum  exposure  under  these  arrangements  is
unknown.  However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these
contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

8. OTHER MATTERS. The Adviser and/or affiliates have received subpoenas from the
Attorney General of the State of New York and the SEC requesting  information on
mutual fund trading  practices  involving  certain funds managed by the Adviser.
GAMCO Investors,  Inc. ("GAMCO"), the Adviser's parent company, is responding to
these  requests  for  documents  and  testimony.   In  June  2006,  GAMCO  began
discussions with the SEC regarding a possible resolution of their inquiry. Since
these discussions are ongoing, it cannot be determined at this time whether they
will ultimately  result in a settlement of this matter. On a separate matter, in
September  2005, the Adviser was informed by the staff of the SEC that the staff
may recommend to the  Commission  that an  administrative  remedy and a monetary
penalty be sought  from the  Adviser in  connection  with the  actions of two of
seven closed-end funds managed by the Adviser relating to Section 19(a) and Rule
19a-1 of the 1940 Act. These provisions require registered  investment companies
to provide  written  statements to  shareholders  when a dividend is made from a
source other than net investment  income.  While the two  closed-end  funds sent
annual statements and provided other materials containing this information,  the
funds did not send written  statements to shareholders with each distribution in
2002 and 2003. The Adviser believes that all of the funds are now in compliance.
The Adviser  believes that these matters would have no effect on the Fund or any
material  adverse  effect on the Adviser or its ability to manage the Fund.  The
staff's notice to the Adviser did not relate to the Fund.

                   THE GABELLI GLOBAL UTILITY & INCOME TRUST

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)

At its  meeting on May 17,  2006,  the Board of Trustees  ("Board")  of the Fund
approved the continuation of the investment  advisory agreement with the Adviser
for the Fund on the  basis of the  recommendation  by the  trustees  who are not
"interested  persons"  of  the  Fund  (the  "independent  board  members").  The
following  paragraphs  summarize the material information and factors considered
by the independent board members as well as their  conclusions  relative to such
factors.

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES. The independent board members considered
information  regarding  the  portfolio  manager,  the depth of the analyst  pool
available to the Adviser and the portfolio  manager,  the scope of  supervisory,
administrative,  shareholder,  and other services  supervised or provided by the
Adviser,  and the absence of significant service problems reported to the Board.
The  independent  board members  noted the  experience,  length of service,  and
reputation of the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT  PERFORMANCE.  The independent  board members  reviewed the short and
medium-term  performance  of the Fund  since  inception  against a peer group of
equity  closed-end  funds and the customized peer group selected by Lipper.  The
independent  board  members  noted  that  the Fund comparative  performance  was
reasonably acceptable.

PROFITABILITY. The independent board members reviewed summary data regarding the
profitability of the Fund to the Adviser and found the profitability to be below
normal.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The independent  board members  discussed the major elements
of the  Adviser's  cost  structure  and the  relationship  of those  elements to
potential  economies of scale. The independent board members noted that the Fund
was a closed-end fund and unlikely to realize any economies of scale potentially
available through growth.

SHARING OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE.  The  independent  board  members  noted that the
investment  advisory  fee  schedule  for the Fund does not take into account any
potential economies of scale.

SERVICE AND COST COMPARISONS. The independent board members compared the expense
ratios of the investment advisory fee, other expenses, and total expenses of the
Fund to similar expense ratios of the peer group of equity  closed-end  funds as
well as the  customized  Lipper  peer  group and  noted  that the  advisory  fee
includes  substantially  all  administrative  services  of the  Fund  as well as
investment advisory services of the Adviser. The independent board members noted
that the Fund's  expense ratios were above average and the Fund's size was below
average within the group. The independent board members were presented with, but
did not consider to be material to their decision, various information comparing
the advisory fee to the fee for other types of accounts managed by affiliates of
the Adviser.

CONCLUSIONS.  The  independent  board  members  concluded  that the Fund enjoyed
highly experienced portfolio management services, good ancillary services, and a
reasonable  performance  record within its conservative  stance. The independent
board members also concluded  that the Fund's expense ratios were  reasonable in
light of the Fund's  size,  and that,  in part due to the Fund's  structure as a
closed-end  fund,  economies  of scale  were not a  significant  factor in their
thinking. The independent board members did not view the potential profitability
of  ancillary  services  as  material  to their  decision.  On the  basis of the
foregoing and without assigning particular weight to any single conclusion,  the
independent board members determined to recommend continuation of the investment
advisory to the full Board.

                         AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT
                       AND VOLUNTARY CASH PURCHASE PLANS

ENROLLMENT IN THE PLAN

      It is the Policy of The Gabelli Global Utility & Income Trust (the "Fund")
to  automatically  reinvest  dividends  payable  to  common  shareholders.  As a
"registered"  shareholder you  automatically  become a participant in the Fund's
Automatic Dividend  Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan authorizes the Fund
to issue  common  shares to  participants  upon an income  dividend or a capital
gains distribution regardless of whether the shares are trading at a discount or
a premium to net asset value. All distributions to shareholders whose shares are
registered in their own names will be automatically  reinvested  pursuant to the
Plan in additional  shares of the Fund. Plan  participants  may send their share
certificates to Computershare Trust Company,  N.A.  ("Computershare") to be held
in their  dividend  reinvestment  account.  Registered  shareholders  wishing to
receive their distribution in cash must submit this request in writing to:

                    The Gabelli Global Utility & Income Trust
                               c/o Computershare
                                 P.O. Box 43010
                            Providence, RI 02940-3010

      Shareholders  requesting this cash election must include the shareholder's
name and  address as they  appear on the share  certificate.  Shareholders  with
additional questions regarding the Plan or requesting a copy of the terms of the
Plan may contact Computershare at (800) 336-6983.

      If your shares are held in the name of a broker,  bank,  or  nominee,  you
should contact such institution. If such institution is not participating in the
Plan,  your  account  will  be  credited  with  a cash  dividend.  In  order  to
participate in the Plan through such institution, it may be necessary for you to
have your shares taken out of "street name" and  re-registered in your own name.
Once  registered  in your  own name  your  distributions  will be  automatically
reinvested. Certain brokers participate in the Plan. Shareholders holding shares
in "street name" at participating institutions will have dividends automatically
reinvested.  Shareholders  wishing  a cash  dividend  at such  institution  must
contact their broker to make this change.

      The number of common shares  distributed  to  participants  in the Plan in
lieu of cash  dividends is determined in the following  manner.  Under the Plan,
whenever the market price of the Fund's common shares is equal to or exceeds net
asset value at the time shares are valued for purposes of determining the number
of shares  equivalent  to the cash  dividends  or  capital  gains  distribution,
participants are issued common shares valued at the greater of (i) the net asset
value as most recently  determined or (ii) 95% of the then current  market price
of the Fund's common shares.  The valuation date is the dividend or distribution
payment date or, if that date is not an American Stock Exchange ("Amex") trading
day, the next  trading  day. If the net asset value of the common  shares at the
time of valuation  exceeds the market price of the common  shares,  participants
will receive  common  shares from the Fund valued at market  price.  If the Fund
should  declare a dividend or capital gains  distribution  payable only in cash,
Computershare  will buy  common  shares  in the open  market,  or on the Amex or
elsewhere,  for the  participants'  accounts,  except  that  Computershare  will
endeavor to  terminate  purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue
shares at net asset value if, following the commencement of such purchases,  the
market value of the common shares exceeds the then current net asset value.

      The automatic  reinvestment  of dividends and capital gains  distributions
will not  relieve  participants  of any  income tax which may be payable on such
distributions.  A participant in the Plan will be treated for Federal income tax
purposes  as  having  received,  on a  dividend  payment  date,  a  dividend  or
distribution in an amount equal to the cash the participant  could have received
instead of shares.

                                       16


VOLUNTARY CASH PURCHASE PLAN

      The  Voluntary  Cash  Purchase  Plan  is  yet  another   vehicle  for  our
shareholders  to increase their  investment in the Fund. In order to participate
in the  Voluntary  Cash  Purchase  Plan,  shareholders  must have  their  shares
registered in their own name.

      Participants in the Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan have the option of making
additional cash payments to  Computershare  for investments in the Fund's common
shares at the then current  market price.  Shareholders  may send an amount from
$250 to $10,000.  Computershare  will use these funds to purchase  shares in the
open  market  on or about  the 1st and 15th of each  month.  Computershare  will
charge each  shareholder who  participates  $0.75,  plus a pro rata share of the
brokerage  commissions.  Brokerage charges for such purchases are expected to be
less than the usual brokerage charge for such transactions. It is suggested that
any  voluntary  cash  payments  be  sent  to  Computershare,   P.O.  Box  43010,
Providence,  RI  02940-3010  such  that  Computershare  receives  such  payments
approximately  10 days before the 1st and 15th of the month.  Funds not received
at least five days before the investment date shall be held for investment until
the next purchase  date. A payment may be withdrawn  without charge if notice is
received  by  Computershare  at least  48 hours  before  such  payment  is to be
invested.

      SHAREHOLDERS  WISHING TO LIQUIDATE SHARES HELD AT COMPUTERSHARE must do so
in writing or by telephone.  Please  submit your request to the above  mentioned
address or telephone  number.  Include in your  request  your name,  address and
account number. The cost to liquidate shares is $2.50 per transaction as well as
the brokerage  commission  incurred.  Brokerage  charges are expected to be less
than the usual brokerage charge for such transactions.

      For  more  information   regarding  the  Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan  and
Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan,  brochures are available by calling (914) 921-5070
or by writing directly to the Fund.

      The Fund  reserves the right to amend or terminate  the Plan as applied to
any  voluntary  cash  payments  made  and  any  dividend  or  distribution  paid
subsequent  to written  notice of the change  sent to the members of the Plan at
least 90 days before the record date for such dividend or distribution. The Plan
also may be amended or terminated by  Computershare on at least 90 days' written
notice to participants in the Plan.
